A benchmark for future series releases
Adding no less than two new modes (URL and Street X), Underground 2 sets the level for future releases.
The incredible addition of free roam allows players to travel the streets and learn where all the shortcuts and hazard zones are before entering races.
NFS Underground 2 sets the benchmark for future NFS releases, and still manages to impress, even to this day.
Still, the comic book style cutscene leaves a lot to be desired, and the opposing racers can be ruthless at times, but with the new ability to recharge your nitrous through incredible moves, staying in a straight line, could leave you losing power and the race.
